So, been working on Jun's helmet for few days. My first project ever.

Helmet's pepakura finished. Now to find a cheap enough way to continue.
Might start with peppin everything before fiberglassing. Who knows?

Tips are appreciated \o

The progress will be extremely slow for the lack of time.

What kinda helmet is that? Looks like a cross between MkVI and the Reach helmet.
Great job on the pep by the way, I'd finish the helmet entirely first just so you can get a taste of what the rest of the armor would look like

Yeah, I think I will. Just need to find a cheap way to "harden" it as I'm really low on funds.
And need to think what to use for the visor.

Posting updates once I get something done \o

I think it was Dark Raziel's, atleast that's what a print on the pepakura said

There is a thread about using gas mask lens covers for a visor should be way cheaper than buy replacement lens.

Good news everyone.

The chestplate appears to be right size after all. Peppin' it up doubletime, almost halfway done \o/
(first I tought I noticed it being way too scaled down, but then I notice'd it wasn't. Too tired...)

Pics coming once intact.

Looks good! Maybe we can bounce ideas off of one another since I too have a Jun in progress!

Good new everyone! (You just read this with docs voice from futurama)
Chest finished!

Here's what I've done this far, next going for shoulders I guess.

The chest might be a bit too scaled down. Tho when I look at Juns pic it looks right dunno, you say.

More coming once there's something to post \o

When looking carefully, you'll see it is a bit down scaled, darnicles, more work :c

I will finish pepping the whole set before remaking the chest so things won't get boring

Im not sure where my method came from... But if you take shoulde to shoulder measurements and add 4-5 cm to the width it should fit and be scaled right.

That's a good point, If we're thinking the same.
I could just split it up from the middle and add material to make it wider \o/
Height/width won't be right then tho, but this is just a prototype

Cheers for this idea mate!
